What design? Can you post a sketch?

Hans von Lieven

 I will try but I seem to have a hard time posting pictures here. I could probably add it to my web site and post the link if you are really interested enough.

just create your post as normal, then go to the bottom where it says Attach click on the Browse button and locate the picture on your computer, double click on the graphic you want to send and post. Simple as this. You can post more than one picture if you want.

hansvonlieven, ok, thanks. Give me a few because I am slow at drawing using a computer.

@ Hans:

I'm trying to catch up here today.  First, fantastic idea with the coal, easy to get, easy to try and cheap.  I wonder if anthracite or bituminous coal makes any difference?  And if it does not work, so what?  If it does work, then very very easy to make multiple "positive" electrode cells out of them.  I wish I had thought of it.  Second, that story and patent info on the "Absorber" seems to me to be right in line with all of this.  I will go back and reread it as I can't really grasp how it operates after the first reading.. A lot of info there.  I don't know where you find all this great stuff.  At first glance with the magnets and the zinc plates (in the simple version) it looks a bit similar to the device being experimented with in the pyramid topic.  Not the same, but maybe a distant cousin?

@ Jeanna:

Good job in testing the materials in "air".  I suspected no volts but, now we know for sure.  Always better to know. I still think the earth is a large capacitor but maybe, it is a motor of sorts too?  And a giant magnet?  All of the above?

@ Artic Knight:

Somewhere near the early part of this topic, one of the posts of an early patent (or a link to it) spoke of just that.  "Priming the pump".  It may have been mentioned on the Stubblefield stuff, I can't remember.  Pretty easy to try and I don't see it cutting down on anything.  It would either improve things, or stay the same I should think.  Well then again, it might short out or drain my car's battery....oops.  Because, in a way, it would be like hooking up both battery (car) terminals to "ground".  Of course one is a positive ground and one neg. but both might function as earth grounds to the car battery's operation.  Who knows?  Maybe I could try it with a nine volt radio battery first just to see?

I only have a few days left to get my outdoor Christmas lights (a few different colored leds) to run off my earth battery.  I don't know if I am gonna make it or not.
